Chapter 523: Insufficiency
The massive movements of the coalition forces naturally did not go unnoticed by the Swarm on the other side. A meeting of Blades was convened, with numerous Blades gathering in the Swarm Network conference room to discuss countermeasures.
“The Interstellar Technological Confederation is coming at us with full force this time, and they have the participation of many more advanced civilizations. The Troi civilization, which was once a formidable opponent, is now only of medium strength. Our forces might be at a disadvantage due to their superior speed and weapon range.”
“Exactly. Not only has the overall technological level of the enemy improved significantly, but their numbers are also incomparable to before.”
“There’s no need to worry about that. The Overlord has already arranged for the frontline troops to undergo self-upgrades. Once the upgrades are complete, the speed and weapon range of the Primordial-class units will be enhanced. Moreover, the Overlord has granted us command authority over all forces in this star sector. I have already mobilized some troops from the rear to the frontlines. In terms of numbers, we won’t be at a disadvantage. However, they are still en route and will take some time to arrive,” Sarah said calmly in response to the Blades’ concerns.
With the support of the Swarm’s numerous intelligent entities, the Swarm’s technological research and growth rate far surpass that of any other foreign civilization, including the Ji race.
Additionally, many of the Swarm’s current technologies have not yet reached their limits, leaving significant room for improvement. The Swarm has long been capable of a major upgrade.
However, since their previous technological level was sufficient to handle their enemies, the Swarm had not revealed too much. Now that the enemy has improved, the Swarm must also advance its technology.
Since the upgrades involve adjustments and improvements based on existing frameworks rather than adding new modules or organs, Luo Wen only needed to grant remote authorization. The Space Octopuses could then absorb energy in close stellar orbits to complete their mutations, making the process very convenient.
As for numbers, the Swarm’s initial offensive forces were drawn from the Riken Star System, Neighboring Star System, Genesis System, as well as the Sandstorm, Golden Horn, White Grub, and Red Ant Star Systems.
